NOTE: This poem is not autobiographical by any means. I was rather inspired by the reading up of some Indian Women's writing in which the writer's have expressed their frustration over male domination in society. The domination is such that women are often, owing to their milder nature, expected to adjust, accommodate, etc..etc..
The obvious sexual innuendo in this piece of work may put readers at unease but the purpose is not to vulgarise; it is to sensitise...
